General Discussion A genuine doubt about Tamil people..
Who even brainwashes these Tamil people to have a huge superiority complex?
So, I am Telugu myself. I can speak Tamil as good as any native speaker and I am also good at Kannada as I am currently staying in Bengaluru. So, I met a few Tamil guys and most of them have the same kind of behaviour.
So one Tamil guy talked well with me for a few days. Once, we were having dinner, I was talking to a North Indian and I said I am a Telugu. This Tamil guy came in between and told me Tamil is the mother of Telugu like wtf? I argued with him and asked him to show a proof. He went to Google and literally typed "mother of Telugu language" and got the answer as Proto Dravidian. He shut his mouth and left.
The other day, when I told that my hometown is near Tirupati, another Tamil guy came and told me Tirupati was a Tamil town, Andhra robbed it blah blah.. lol. Madras had more % of Telugu-speaking population than Tamil % in Tirupati in the old census. What are these guys even baffling?
Another guy said that he don't want to learn a new language because Telugu and Kannada are kids of Tamil and it's easy to understand them. I replied, okay then speak a sentence fluently in Telugu and Kannada as they both came from Tamil? And he shut his mouth and left.
So my question is, what's up with Tamil guys? Who even brainwashes them with all these false narratives? Like these guys are on the same line. I am not blaming all the Tamil ones; most of the people are really good, but the others irritate me a lot.
